...movement of specific Soviet navy and merchant vessels. It also contained the "Dear Johnnie" letters from the unhappy former spy, Whitworth; Walker's own three-page "Dear Friend" letter to his Soviet contact; and enough information on other associates to lead to the quick arrests of Michael aboard the Nimitz and John's brother Arthur in Virginia Beach...
Last week a federal grand jury indicted John Walker, 47, a private detective and retired Navy communications specialist, and his son Michael, 22, an operations clerk aboard the U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz who had been arrested the week before and charged with espionage.
